Can Fatty Liver be Reversed?

What is fatty liver?

To answer the question "can fatty liver be reversed" you first need to know what fatty liver is and what causes it.

Fatty liver is a build up of fat in your liver caused by a bad diet, generally eating too much food that are high in saturated fats.

This coupled with a lack of exercise will lead to a build up of fat which as you would expect can be reversed if you improve your diet and do some exercise.

Most people do not even know that they have a fatty liver because in the first stages of the disease there are no symptoms whatsoever.

People that are affected by the disease include people that are overweight, people that have a high blood pressure, have high cholesterol or have type 2 diabetes.

The non alcoholic form of the disease is not caused by drinking too much alcohol but if you do drink too much it can make the condition worse and might even lead to cirrhoses where the liver stops working properly.

After some blood tests revealed that I had high liver enzymes I was sent for a scan at the hospital.

After that I spoke to the consultant who told me to lose some weight by changing my diet and doing some exercise, this is how a fatty liver can be reversed.

After this I changed my diet and cut out all the foods that I was eating that contained high amounts of saturated fat.

I ate a lot more fruit and vegetables and started doing an exercise DVD every other night for about 30 minutes.

You should be aware that your body does need fat, the maximum an adult should have on a daily basis is 70g, someone on a diet would aim for around 50g.

Of the 70g of fat only 30g of it should be saturated fats for men and only 20g of saturated fats for women.

If you keep an eye on what fatty foods you are eating then the disease can be reversed if you stick with this lifestyle.

Products to help reverse a fatty liver

According to the reviews on Amazon there are some really good products on the market that can help a fatty liver be reversed.

I can't comment on them myself because I have only used milk thistle tablets, which I got from Holland & Barrett, apparently the herb is good for cleansing your liver. I used them and got back on track but this was combined with exercise and a good diet.

I have no idea if the milk thistle tablets did me any good but I did lose some weight and got my liver enzymes back down to normal, this could be due to the good diet and exercise though and not the tablets.

There are some books available to buy on Amazon; there is one about how a fatty liver can be reversed by Sandra Cabot. I have not read it so I do not know if it is any good or not, I suppose you could read the reviews.

There are lots of other books with detailed diet plans on how to cleanse your liver and there are the Livercare tablets that are shown in the picture above. These have good reviews however I can't comment on them because I have not used them.
